What is the most overrated TV show of all time?

[DenzilEmily]

Can be for any reason

For me
University Challenge
Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad without a doubt. I thought I was the only one to not get it but feel very reassured

I like BBT and Friends, and Frasier is brilliant, watched it this morning and literally laughed out loud.

What I cannot stand is Miranda, everyone says ooh it's so good, but she's just an annoying woman who (wrongly imp) thinks she's funny.

oh and Mrs Brown's Boys. Tasteless crap.

Mrs Browns Boys here too. And My Family mystified me. They managed to get quality actors and turn them into planks of wood. Quite a feat!

Sorry Michael Palin because I do love you but for me it’s Monty Python. Also Dad’s Army, X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent.

I liked Breaking Bad - and Walking Dead is my favourite programme bar none!

Never seen Game of Thrones.

Sex And The City.

Spoiled, entitled brat with too much money and free time moaning about men being shits and people not bowing to her every daft whim.

Treat people how you want to be treated, yah?

mrs browns boys was the most watched tv show over xmas last year

work that one out :)

People get wildly pissed at Christmas and watch anything.

Once The Snowman and the Christmas episode of Bottom is over most Christmas telly is trash.

If you watch it wearing a paper hat and a ridiculous jumper it doesn't count.

lol but that'd why it keeps getting recommissioned arghhhh

Mrs Browns Boys
Friends
Cold Feet
Big Bang Theory

Anything else with knock out rounds voted by the public.

Oh and Factor X as League of Gentlemen called it during their genius live show!

Friends
Top Gear
X-factor - after the auditions
Only Fools and Horses
Last of the Summer Wine
Rosemary and Thyme - great actors, but rubbish plots/script
Anything American after it's first season, Lost, Heroes, Mad Men, Grey's Anatomy, Sex in the City (Carrie is a cow), - even the West Wing got dull in the end
QI - just put the News Quiz on telly.
Celebrity Panel Shows in general with the exception of 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown.
Death on a Caribbean Island thing.
The One Show - are the on drugs? Suicide to the latest play in the West End musical without a breath!
Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, - never seen

I'll go back to my book.

Breaking Bad

Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, - never seen

How can you know they’re overrated if you’ve never seen them? It’s one thing for them not to be the sort of thing you like to watch, but you can’t actually know if they’re worth the general hype and critical acclaim unless you’ve actually watched them.

Another one who hates Mrs Brown's Boys. And Game of Thrones.

I also think there is a problem with series running far too long - Friends was good for a couple of series, then not so much.

Sex and the City

Fawlty Towers

The Walking Dead

Friends (I've only seen bits of it )

KUWTK (not seen it but DD gives me chapter'n'verse )

MIC

Gogglebox

TOWIE

Big Brother
Celebrity Big Brother
The Apprentice
Great British Bake off
All reality TV

Broadchurch - so formulaic but then I dislike detective dramas in general. There's always 2 detectives that are oh-so-different from each other, they might as well be called Detective Chalk and Detective Cheese. I gave it a go because everyone said it was exceptional but it really really wasn't.

Doctor Who. I have tried but it just seems so naff and unfunny and never hooks me in.

Weird because I love nostalgic British telly and sci-fi generally.

Oh yes, Dr Who. I have been dipping in and out since the 70s and just don't get it.

I don't get Dr Who either.

Also Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother.

Agree with others that Miranda is shite.

And The Office isn't that funny.

Friends.
Just such banal nonsense.

House of Cards. The first series was great and it's gone steadily downhill ever since.

OP, I proper Lol'd at your "University Challenge."

I think people on this thread have misunderstood the premise. These are supposed to be programmes that are critically acclaimed, but you just don't like them - Breaking Bad is a perfect example, although those who don't like BB are entirely wrong as it is of course brilliant.

MRs Brown's Boys has no place on this thread, as while it is indeed rubbish it is not critically acclaimed by anyone and therefore is not "overrated."

My suggestions are:

Dr Foster
Gogglebox
The People vs O J Simpson

Agree with Game of fucking thrones and in fact I came here to post that as soon as I saw the thread title. Like Lord of the rings in that it's full of characters with stupid fucking fantasy identities and ridiculous names doing unlikely yet clunky and boring things, but with gore, tits and fannies. Utter pish. This
